Bible Studies & Articles

These are personal Bible studies and articles that I felt inspired to write as I have spent time with the Lord. Some have more of my thoughts written within them as I meditated on the study than others. I will often write a thought of mine right after the verse heading, before the actual verses. References to other studies are also given.

The numbers you see in blue after certain words in a verse represent a Strong’s concordance number. Unless explained in an earlier passage, the explanation for the number is always below the individual passage, again in blue. My prayer is that these may bless someone, creating a greater thirst and hunger for the Living Word, Jesus Christ.

God bless you,

Tim

Preserved Complete; Spirit, Soul, and Body

1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 – See the note below. 23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify [37- “to make holy”] you entirely [3651- “complete to the end, perfect”]; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved [5083- “to attend to carefully, take care of”] complete [3648- “complete in all its parts, entire, whole”], without blame [274- “faultlessly, blameless”] at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass.

"Go Forward!"

Moving Forward; The Lord’s Power To Deliver (Exodus 14) v.1-12 – A Divine setup Israel placed “between a rock and a hard place.” Soon after being released from slavery, Egyptians pursue them (i.e. the devil does the same). A seemingly impossible situation; the sea in front of them, the enemy behind them. Fear of death overcame the Israelites. v.13-14 – The instructions of Moses “But Moses said to the people, ‘Do not fear! Stand by [3320- “to continue, to take one’s stand”]

The Required Mindset Of An Overcomer

(This study was taken from the Bible study The Four Spiritual Laws Of Man and The Five Spiritual Laws Of God. Also see the section The Required Christian Mindset in the Bible study The Point Of Arrival.) The World’s Perspective Mindset – “Mindset is defined as the set of attitudes or beliefs that we hold. Mindset is crucially important because our attitudes and beliefs affect everything we do, feel, think, and experience. Our mindset influences our perceptions and how w

“Selective Harvesting” Of Souls (Demonic Ideology For Human Eradication)

A recent event in our extended family caused me to be moved, very deeply, within. A “gender reveal” party seemed to be a somewhat harmless, if not joyous celebration. Strangely, though, it brought up very strong, emotional feelings (i.e. convictions) within me. Asking the Lord why this was occurring led to this writing. What has been revealed to me has helped me to understand the reason for the feelings that literally overwhelmed me as the party drew near. At first my anger

Increasing In The Lord Through The Fire

In Luke 2:52 we read that, “Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.” (NASU) The Greek word interpreted into English as “kept increasing” is prokopto (prok-op'-to). It’s defined as “to beat forward, to lengthen out by hammering (as a smith forges metals); to go forward, advance, proceed.” Jesus, the pattern Son, has shown, by his life in a human body, the way for you and I to go forward in Him; it is through submission to the refiner’s fi

Repairing The Altar Of God; Reentering The Covenant

This revelation is the result of a larger study of the book of Acts that our house church had been led to go through since the beginning of last year (2025). This is part of our study in Acts 2:1-4. I was led to 1 Kings 18 when Elijah confronted the 450 prophets of Baal, and the 400 prophets of the Asherah that ate at queen Jezebel’s table (v.19) in a showdown. Its purpose was to reveal to Israel who was the true God, since they were trying to worship both (i.e. double-mind

NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) In Christianity

There are college athletes that have become millionaires, while still attending school, because of something known as NIL. So, the question is, “What is NIL (name, image, likeness),” and is there a parallel in the church? AI Overview : “NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) refers to the legal rights of individuals, particularly student-athletes, to control and profit from their personal brand and identity .

"The Coming Storm" by Shelley Bauer

The massive subzero storm that affected much of the United States this past weekend, dumped snow, sleet and freezing rain. The storm was approximately 2,000 miles in length affecting over 170 million people, causing widespread power outages and severe travel issues. Meteorologists were warning about the potential for significant weather at least 2 days in advance, giving people ample time to get the necessary things in place before the event happened. Many people heeded their

The Four Spiritual Laws of man vs. The Five Spiritual Laws of God

“The ‘Four Spiritual Laws’ are a popular evangelistic framework [i.e. method(ology)], originating from Bill Bright's Campus Crusade for Christ [now known as CRU], summarizing the Gospel's core message: 1) God loves you and has a plan, 2) Humanity is sinful and separated from God, 3) Jesus Christ is God's provision for sin, and, 4) We must receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord to experience God's love and plan. They aren't a direct biblical list, but distill core scriptural

A Rebuttal Of Hyper Grace

The odious video that started this study was, “If We Confess Our Sins: 1 John 1:9 and Religious Paranoia.” It’s hosted by “The UnSunday Show” with Mike Adams (I would add it’s more like “The Unbiblical Show”). Like the devil, he starts with some “fine sounding” biblical statements, enough to suck you in and put your guard down, but his conclusion resonates with the hiss of the serpent. The description of the video : “Do you feel a constant pressure to be confessing all

Twas The Day Jesus Came

Twas The Day Jesus Came It was the day when Jesus came And there was no peace in the house The only creatures that were quiet Were the cat and the mouse The Bible lay dusty high upon a shelf There was no family worship And not a prayer said. The news on the TV was blasting But none seemed to care That the signs were around them Showing Jesus soon would be there The children were fighting Upstairs in the room While the parents were arguing Oh, this family is doomed.

The "Rest" Of The Story (Rest and Restlessness Of Spirit)

Hebrews 4:6 – See the note below. 6 “Therefore, since it remains for some [5100- “some one, a certain one , any one, one ”] to enter it [ “it” being the “rest” of the Lord] …” Notice that the definition of the Greek word interpreted as “some” is “some one, a certain one , any one, one .” This is the same definition of the chosen group of “ one man from each tribe” that were commanded to rest in the waters of the Jordan River in Joshua 3:12-17 above. Using the chil

Suppressing The Truth With An Ungrateful Heart

In his letter to the Romans, Paul speaks of “men who suppress [2722- “to hold back, detain, retain, keep from possession of”] the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident [5318- “open to sight, visible, manifest”] within them, for God made it evident [5319- “to make visible, clear, manifest”] to them.” (Romans 1:18-19) Once the conscience is awakened by the Holy Spirit, and the truth becomes evident within someone, the devil then begins t

Examples Of God’s Preparations : 1. Creation (Genesis 1) – God creates the earth first, then the sun, moon and stars, preparing a place for mankind to dwell in safe and secure.
